I would agree with Coachie and stay near JFK. You can take a cab into the city that evening and back out after dinner. The traffic will be much lighter than leaving the city in the morning.

judymike said: NYC residents of Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Staten Island resent very much non-New Yorkers referring to Manhattan as 'The City'! Well, to the rest of the world, when one refers to "we are going to NYC" or "the city", its pretty much a given one is referring to Manhattan - sorry but we are splitting hairs here and sounds like your trying to pick an argument. Enough of the meaningless arguments on this board!!!!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

Most people don't realize that the present city limits of New York are only a little more than a hundred years old. Prior to that time, Manhattan was New York City. Also, borough is also a county. Manhattan is New York, Queens is Queens, Brooklyn is Kings, Staten Island is Richmond, and the Bronx is the Bronx. Notice the only borough that is said with a "the" in front of it is the Bronx. When I first moved out of state, people would frequently ask me where I was from and I'd say "Queens" and they would reply "Oh, the Queens". Right there and then I knew that the person had never been to N.Y.C..
